"We believe that education is the key to success and we know that the key to Staten Island's future is educational opportunity for all children. We see the time and talent dedicated by the Integration Charter School team to the students in their current schools, Lavelle Preparatory Charter School and New Ventures. That gives us the confidence to lend our name to this new school."- Lois and Richard Nicotra
